today while i was at work i threw my car on the lift and decided to take off my exhaust heatshields. both of them. i had to, it was the only way to get rid of the rattling. maybe im being a little paranoid, but will the exhaust ever reach a temperature where it could start melting the hydraulic lines that go to my tranny, or start melting the gas tank. it probaly wont. but i would feel better if i was assured this. thanks.

 

It should be fine. I took mine off a long time ago and it has been okay.

 

you will be ok

 

next time , instead of removing the heat shield,, just install a big metal clamp around it ,, it works great and you get to leave the SHIELD as is

 

Just dont park on grass...

can't say this enough, esp. when your car is low

 

lol my car is slammed actually. why would it have effect on grass?? lol. unless theres been a heatwave for a month straight.

 

and dont park under a lot of leaves either, it can start a fire

 

not to mention if you park your car under alot of leaves you have a chance of scratching the paint... or worse... forgetting where you buried your car.... car under leaves bad idea

 

actually im still lost about parking on grass.... the heat shield hes talking about is on top of the exhaust, no?

 

yea exactley. it nots like the heatshields disspiate that much heat
